Regulatory mechanisms for the biogenesis and polymerization of alpha/beta tubulin and their impact on Microtubule Function

US National Institute of General Medical Sciences grant open #nih-1R35GM158334-01

Summary

Project Summary The dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton mediates intracellular organization, generates forces for dividing or migrating eukaryotic cells, and forms tracks for intracellular trafficking. The fundamental properties of microtubules, including polarized growth and “dynamic instability” stem directly from the activities of their building blocks, the αβ-tubulin heterodimers. Tubulins are among the most highly expressed proteins in eukaryotic cells. Despite advances in understanding special mechanisms regulating tubulin translation and folding, we lack understanding of how -tubulins ar
